Try becoming a COBOL developer and see how that works for you. Likening C to COBOL isn't doing it any favors.

What's the implication here? I only know one COBOL developer but they seem to be doing quite well for themselves, making over $400k a year for something like 15 hours of work a week.

COBOL developers commanding a high salary is directly related to it not being a thriving language.

> C will still be used long after you and I and everyone here have returned to dust.

there are also people still riding horses. does not make it relevant in any way.
